These Banana Nut Bagels are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, combining the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with crunchy nuts for a wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  3. Add the yeast mixture to the banana mixture and stir well.
